Sad accident.-A blacksmith of the name of German, living
in Westkill, was killed, one day last week by the kick of an ox while he
was engaged in shoeing him. The ox broke the rope by which he was tied, and
gave him a blow in the abdomen from which- after lingering about two days-he
died. He leaves a wife and nine children to mourn his loss.

MY NOTES:

This is Zachariah Germond/German born abt.1815. He came
from Dutchess Co., NY with wife Helen Sleight born abt.1819. The 9 children
were: Mary, George (my 3rd gr-grandfather), Smith, Charlotte, Orphene, Zack
John, Bigelow, William (Willie), Arthur, and Louisa. I believe Louisa died
young.
